Imagine being able to live in a luxury waterfront villa that's modeled like an ultra-luxurious super yacht, without having to put in the maintenance required of a sailing vessel. That was what the developer of this sleek 3-storey Sentosa Cove waterfront villa requested from Italian firm Mercurio Design Lab when they engaged the studio to develop the site.
Dual Sentosa Cove waterfront villas
The design lab proposed the building of two homes, each shaped like the hull of a modern super yacht.
Yacht-inspired villa design
Situated along one of the picturesque waterways within the exclusive Sentosa Cove residential enclave, the luxury waterfront villa looks like a posh vessel parked by the water.
Slanted and curved exterior walls
One of the most outstanding features of the house is the slanted wall at the back of the home. The curved edges running along the walls accord the structure with a sophisticated Italian flair.
Rooftop waterfront pool
On the rooftop lies a small pool overlooking the fantastic view of the Sentosa Cove waterways.
Orange tiled roof
From the front of the home, the orange tiled roof greets visitors like the awning of a yacht.
